Dear MBA Students,

On behalf of the Development and Alumni Engagement office and the entire Sauder alumni community, I would like to extend a warm welcome back to returning students, and a huge welcome to all transfers and first year students! We are happy to have all of you back on campus for the 2012/2013 school year.

To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the Development and Alumni Engagement Office and representatives from the Sauder alumni community invite you to join us at the “Alumni Cares Lounge” in the CA Hall on September 5 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please come by and enjoy complimentary refreshments and goodies to energize you for the first week of classes.

We hope you’ll stop by to meet our staff, engage with alumni, and learn more about alumni events and initiatives that will benefit you in the upcoming year!

Whether or not you’re able to join us on September 5, on behalf of our office, the alumni community, and everyone at Sauder, we wish you a great and successful year ahead.

Sincerely,

Teresa Faulkner

MBA students hoping to secure student loans must be registered for modules in both Term 1 and Term 2. In order to ensure that this process goes smoothly, all students will be registered for Context Integration (BA 507) in Term 2 by the MBA Office. We are in the process of doing this now. Context Integration is a mandatory component for the MBA Program, so all students will need to complete it.

If you have any questions please email: askmba@sauder.ubc.ca

Please be aware that UBC has a Serving & Consumption of Alcohol at University Events or on University Premises policy, which you can review here.

For those international students in our program please be advised that laws governing the serving and consumption of alcohol in BC and at UBC may be quite different from what you are used to in your home country/university, so we encourage you to review the UBC policy and make yourselves aware of the laws in BC as well.

This policy will be posted on your Connect site under the Policies tab.

Dear 1st year FT MBA student,

We are happy to advise that we are ready to assign lockers!

The MBA program has 82 half-sized lockers available for student use. Most are on the 1st floor, a few are on the 4th floor. As decided by the current MBAS Executive, these lockers will all be assigned to 1st year MBA students only; 2nd year students are not eligible.  However, as there are more students than lockers, selection will be made by lottery. 

If you wish to go into the draw to have a locker, please click on the link below and enter your email address to access the sign-up form. Please enter your name and student number by 4:30pm on August 13th.  

https://www.surveyfeedback.ca/surveys/wsb.dll/s/1g1cf9

Please note that you will only be able to sign in once to enter your details.

Students will need to supply their own lock.

Lockers will be assigned initially for September – December 2012 only. Once the new MBAS Executive is selected in December, we will ask for their feedback as to how they wish to assign lockers from January 2013 onwards. 

Best regards, 

Theresa (on behalf of your Academic Services team)
